An Event - Not Just a Show

Astonishing performance
I just saw Hamlet the other night with two of my girlfriends. Spend the money and sit in the orchestra and be prepared to be blown away by superb acting. Peter Eyre was excellent and Jude Laws astonishing performance, ease on stage, and introspection was very well balanced. Kudos to artistic direction!
